5 x LOCO Plus 3 x WAGON Lash-Up!

An interesting working up in Derbyshire on an otherwise quiet day on Sat 8th Sept-23 sees 5 locos plus 3 wagons heading from Earles Sidings to Hunslet Yard & Midland Road in Leeds.
Firstly, see 66616 setting back into Earles sidings after arriving from Tunstead with the 3 wagons. The wagons need maintenance in Leeds - Wheel flats and faulty hopper doors being the likely issues.
Once into Earles sidings, 66623, 70015, 66620 and 66952 are all added to the head of the consist to create an interesting working! The locos are all headed onto Midland Road in Leeds for refuelling and regular servicing.
Hat-tip to the FL depot manager who was a pleasure to chat to..
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

I enjoy watching train action on the main lines, but the movements in the yards, breaking down and making up trains and working industrial sidings, switching (shunting) I find particularly interesting; thanks for posting.

[@Thornaby37]

Certainly an unusual consist, but makes sense for them all to travel together to save paths

[@stephendavies6949]

Steady camerawork and informative subtitles as always: Another great watch!

[@stephendavies6949]

Those wagons definitely look due for some TLC.

Interesting movements ❤

[@ormondsworld3947]

Great catch mate!

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Looks like they shut down 66616? I'd be surprised if they had multiple locomotives under power for this move

[@stephendavies6949]

At 5m 40sec you have around 1.5% of the entire class 66 fleet in shot.

An old video just uploaded?

[@trainsplanes]

No - This was yesterday.. 09/09/23 6E03 Earles to Hunslet yard 👍

[@barryhargreaves3311]

Some of 66s come from Buxton

[@Sarahbryson321]

There must’ve been a lot in those wagons! Was this a stock move?

[@trainsplanes]

The wagons were empty - They were being moved as they all require maintenance 👍

[@class50thrasher]

I wish the 70 was on the fron, could've gotten some proper thrash from one of them!

[@andydavidson9440]

Nice video of an interesting move. Earle’s siding is photogenic!👍
